Given the popularity of the group in 1986/87, I never understood why this was never given an official release in stores. I absolutely love this album.... maybe more than Live 1967. I somehow missed getting the LP on the 1987 tour, but I was thrilled to pick it up on CD during the 1996 tour.

I would imagine the reason it never got an official release was because they would have had to license The Monkees name – notice it's credited to Davy, Micky & Peter – which would have made it less lucrative for them. Who knows how many copies they sold at concerts, but it's possible they made more money keeping it a limited edition.
